And it filmed gorgeously. I will seriously lower my standards for the pretty.

Often, when Jilli's complaining about occult stuff, as I roll my eyes with love, I tell her, "Yeah, but doing it THAT way would have been a crappy shot!"
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

I mean, the trickster acted in ways that I would consider "evil" - and yet he is supposed to be an angel?
I agree with Cass, bad guys don't have the market cornered on being dicks.
The first thing we saw the Trickster doing was killing the adulterous professor: punishing him for his crimes, albeit in a really funny way (for values of funny that probably only apply to omnipotent beings). One can assume that, while Gabriel probably wasn't doing that a lot because he was trying to stay under the radar, he couldn't in good angel-y conscience let that guy continue doing what he was doing when he was right in front of him.
Makes a kind of sense to me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I read something on LiveJournal that was suggesting that in Mystery Spot Gabriel/the Trickster was still thinking it was possible to break their dependence on each other and was trying to force that in order to prevent...well, all of this. Whereas now he's concluded that it can't be done and is just trying to force the end as he said. (Was reading on my bb so I couldn't mark the post or I'd link.)
It's been long enough since I watched MS so I'm not sure how well it holds up, but it might be an explanation for the divergence between the Trickers then and now.

Dude, you don't want to know what percentage of my Celtic Mythology classmates couldn't say it correctly.
Though pronouncing things isn't the same as researching them.
Signed, pronounces everything wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Zechariah seems pretty evil to me. And he's an angel. ::shrugs::
True enough. But he wasn't trying to fly under the radar either. It just seems really problematic that all of these angels have lost their way like this. Cass can't be the only decent angel left on earth, can he?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I pronounce half of my words incorrectly. Thank you, childhood (and, okay, adulthood) spent reading and not talking. My mom and I were talking about some word and realized neither of us knew the correct pronunciation. She looked it up and I liked the wrong way better. Another word banished to the "I only write you, I don't say you" pile.
Cass can't be the only decent angel left on earth, can he?
I'm a girl-type!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Just saw the news about the engagement. Tinfoilhattery aside, and I hate when this is the first thing people say right after someone is married...but....bring on the freckled babies!!
Uriel, Zachariah? Not "good" despite their angel status. That's how I like my angel mythology though, righteous sword of God smiting without mercy. In fact I am thinking they are going to need Castiel to do something questionable in order to keep his angel street cred.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I've read people saying that Danneel is prettier than Jensen, and I just don't get it. Jensen is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. Danneel's very pretty, but I just haven't seen the picture where she exceeds him.
And I can't believe I've THOUGHT ABOUT THIS. Dear lord.
I think that Gabriel isn't any more bad than either Uriel or Zachariah. They just have different points of view. Gabriel has spent more time focussed on immediate self-gratification, but they all very much wanted it their way. Castiel is trying to have it God's way. He thinks, at least, he's all about someone else.
